Ace McCasland (aka Studio Luna Verde) | Unconventional : prong set necklace | Thursday, January 26, 2023 | 9:00 am until 4:30 pm
$195.00
In this workshop, we will explore my unconventional, and now signature, approach to prong setting, using unusual techniques to grasp a stone for a pendant, incorporating silver organic elements for texture and intrigue, experimenting with simple hinges to add movement, and discussing the importance of making your own chain and findings, while learning a few of those options.
You should be able to walk away with a fantastic new piece to wear to the Vivi Magoo happy hour gathering that evening.
